"As a teenager, I have been fortunate to be able to connect with friends and family both in person and through many types of social mediums. I didn’t realize that so many people could be feeling so isolated and alone. After speaking with my own grandparents, it really hit home! They have limited access to socialization since they are staying home to practice social distancing for their own safety and the safety of others. I realized that social distancing can be very difficult for people who don’t have direct communication with friends or loved ones. It’s a known fact that people truly benefit from social interaction for both their mental and physical well being. Our mission is to help provide that human interaction that many nursing home residents who are missing it during this time of crisis. We hope you will join us and help us build this effort!"
